Went outside yesterday to check my girls and boys and there in the trees
not far from the hen run is a HUGE eagle, eyeing off my birds! I have
lost three young birds, a cockeral and a couple of pullets in the last
week and couldn't figure out how as there were no holes in the yard and
they were securely locked up and well fed. The run is not covered and I
did not think of eagles eating them. So I have told hubby what I would
like for Christmas now.

Oh well, such is life.

A two-pipe shootsgun takes care of the preditors you can see. Chickens
are a protected species around my place :)
